Bishop White Gallery of Chinese Temple Art, ROM, Toronto

The Paradise of Maitreya, the magnificent mural that dominates this gallery, adorned the wall of a Chinese Buddhist monastery that no longer exists. It was created more than seven centuries ago during the Yuan dynasty, when Khubilai Khan ruled and the first travel to China by Europeans such as Marco Polo and his father were chronicled.

A favourite with visitors, this gallery is home to one of the world’s most important collections of Chinese temple art. Some of the first acquisitions made by Royal Ontario Museum are housed here, including the murals – three of the world’s best-preserved – and fourteen large, breathtaking Buddhist and Daoist sculptures from Shanxi province in north China.

A Third Gender: Beautiful Youths in Japanese Prints

Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto
May 7, 2016 to November 27, 2016

Four hundred years ago in Japan, male youths, called wakashu, were the objects of sexual desire for women and men. Creating a third gender, wakashu looked different from both women and adult men and played distinct social and sexual roles.

The exhibition, A Third Gender, explores the complex system of sexual desire and social expectation from 1603 to 1868 in Edo Japan. Featuring stunning woodblock prints, paintings, illustrated books, kimono, and armour, it tells a pivotal story in the history of human sexuality. Unsettling contemporary North American values, A Third Gender invites you to think differently about gender and sexuality.
